Program
District Governor Judy Sims from NLRock, asked the question, “Why did you join Rotary?” Boss said to; good friendship; good food; for many reasons of course. Many things have changed over the years but one constant remains: we must retain more members. Membership classifications must be updated and not let a concentrated group use up all of the oxygen. Clubs which promote service projects involving ALL members are healthy, growing clubs.
Remember when there were no women in Rotary? Today, there are over 84,000 women members. In District 6150, 1/3 of the clubs have women presidents.
This Rotary Year, there is a Presidential Citation: A net gain of one new member and complete a project in four areas: Literacy, H! ealth, Hunger and Family of Rotary….and Have Fun!
And DG Judy asked us to do one more thing: Wear the Rotary Pin.
Guests
